7. Contemporary integrative interpersonal theory (CIIT)
Statement1: CIIT is integrative in that it conceptualizes personality, psychopathology, and
intervention using the same model, and this model easily connects to various other models of
individual differences, social processes, and psychotherapy.
Statement 2: CIIT is interpersonal because it assumes that the most important expressions of
personality and psychopathology occur in interactions, whether they be with important
attachment figures, mental health providers, friends and coworkers, complete strangers, or
different aspects of ourselves. Thus, any problems in living must be interpreted through the
lens of the dyadic system in which those problems manifest, rather than solely as
characteristics of individuals operating in a vacuum.
• AA
Statement 1 is correct.
• BB
Statement 2 is correct.
• CC
Both statements are correct.
• DD
Neither statement is correct.
